The courage to transform into a tiger demon was extraordinary. It was difficult for Li Mu to refine the majestic anger in his body. After encountering the pure courage of the tiger demon, the ice and snow melted in an instant.
After the sun set, Li Mu sat cross-legged on the bed, raised his five hearts to the sky, and said in a low voice: "Nine times of elemental energy can restrain evil spirits, heavenly beasts guard the door, charming girls hold the gate, seven souls are gentle and gentle, please be at peace with me.
Act rashly..."
After the tea time, he suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Fu Ya, Ning!"
Within Li Mu's body, a gray light representing anger flashed from the surface of the body to the depths of the body and disappeared.
At the same time, Li Mu also felt the familiar feeling again when he condensed the first soul. When the second soul condensed, the magic power in his body jumped up in that moment, which was equivalent to a month of training under his guidance.
Li Mushe breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had only condensed the second of the seven souls, it only took him more than a month.
As long as he can gather two more souls in the next four months, he can break through the half-year period mentioned by the old Taoist.
After the second soul was condensed, Li Mu tried to cast Taoist magic that he could not cast before. He found that although his magic power had increased a lot, he could still only master the first two words of the Nine-Character Mantra. It was just that the casting time took longer than before.
Durability is always a good thing, and what he has to do next is to prepare for condensing the third spirit bird yin.
Condensing Que Yin requires a lot of sadness, and Li Mu has already found a way to collect sadness. However, with Liu Hanyan, the script of "Butterfly" has not yet been choreographed, so it is useless no matter how anxious Li Mu is.
He originally wanted to ask Liu Hanyan, but she didn't come yesterday, but today was the day when her beauty charm expired. Li Mu drew the beauty charm and planned to ask again when she came to get it.
However, Li Mu waited until night, but could not wait for Liu Hanyan.
Li Mu lit a charcoal fire in the yard and put the dressed meat skewers on it. Not long after, Wan Wan ran over from next door and squatted beside Li Mu to watch.
Li Mu handed her a skewer of grilled pork belly and asked, "Where is your lady?"
While Wanwan was eating, she said, "Miss is at the shop and hasn't come back yet."
Li Mu asked: "Is the shop very busy these days?"
Wanwan nodded and said: "There are many more customers in teahouses and bookstores, especially bookstores. New books will be sold out as soon as they are printed. Several bookstores asked who wrote Liaozhai, but the lady did not tell them.
There is also a bookstore that wants to buy Liaozhai, but the lady doesn’t agree..."
Liu Hanyan is a prostitute who dares to venture into a strange place with a little maid. She needs to resist pressure from all aspects, which is indeed not easy.
Li Mu asked her to bring the Talisman back to her every night. Since his magic power increased, the effectiveness of the Talisman has been extended from three days to more than six days.
The effectiveness of the talisman is mainly related to two factors.
The first is the quality of the materials used. Ordinary cinnabar and yellow paper can hold limited mana. Even if the person who writes the talisman has high mana, he will not be able to draw a talisman that exceeds the upper limit of the material.
The second is the moral conduct of the person who wrote the talisman. When the material of the talisman is of extremely high quality, the deeper the mana of the person who wrote the talisman, the longer the power and effectiveness of the talisman.
Of course, this is all for ordinary practitioners. Some practitioners with advanced Taoism can even condense talismans in the void. Of course, these are not something Li Mu can come into contact with at this stage.
After gathering his second spirit, he returned to the Yamen to cancel his injury leave and patrolled Weiyang Street on a daily basis.
Yunyan Pavilion is located on Weiyang Street. When Li Mu, wearing official uniform, walked to the teahouse, he heard noisy sounds coming from inside.
"Where's that dog thief who breaks the story every day? Why didn't he come out today?"
"Hurry up and tell him to come out. We have been waiting here for more than half an hour."
"Yesterday, I haven't explained clearly about the fox's repayment. What did the hunter see when he opened the door?"
The waiter in the teahouse looked at everyone and said helplessly: "The storyteller has left the teahouse, and we don't know where he went..."
"What!"
"gone?"
"Why did he leave? Did you deduct his wages?"
"Call him out quickly. If he doesn't come out today, I won't leave!"
…
Li Mu stood at the door and listened for a while, then shook his head and left.
The second soul has been condensed, and he no longer needs to collect their anger through fragments. Naturally, his identity as a storyteller has come to an end, and he has returned to his duties as a police officer.
After walking out of the teahouse and passing by the bookstore, Li Mu paused slightly when he heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
In the bookstore, Liu Hanyan said to a middle-aged man with a pretty face, "Shopkeeper Ren, what you said is impossible, please come back."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, why are you doing this? We all do business together. Aren't you a weak woman tired of running such a big store? I am also kind-hearted to help you..."
Liu Hanyan said with a cold face: "Don't bother the shopkeeper."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Since Shopkeeper Liu doesn't want to, I won't force myself to leave."
Li Mu walked in from the outside, turned his head to take a look, then looked back and asked: "Who was that person just now?"
"The shopkeeper of Sihai Bookstore." Liu Hanyan walked to the table and said, "I wanted to buy the follow-up manuscripts of Liaozhai and publish them together with Yunyan Pavilion, but I refused."
There is no copyright protection law in this world. Yunyan Pavilion's books can be printed by other bookstores, and similarly, Yunyan Pavilion can also print their books.
However, there is no original manuscript. They need to wait until Yunyan Pavilion sells the book, then buy the printed book back, engrave it again, and print it. Engraving is time-consuming and laborious. In the meantime, a lot of time will be wasted. Others have already bought it from Yunyan Pavilion.
They finally printed it out, but they could only smash it in their hands.
Only by possessing the original manuscript as soon as possible can you occupy the market and gain maximum profits.
Liu Hanyan was a little angry and said: "Liaozhai is now the leading book of Yunyan Pavilion. It relies on it to attract new customers. How can it be sold to them? What's more, the price they offered is not buying, but robbing...
, they just bullied me because I was new here and there was no one above me."
Li Mu glanced at her and said, "Who said there is no one above you?"
Liu Hanyan said: "Wanwan and I have been here less than two months, and we have no time to take care of it. How can there be anyone up there?"
"Don't blame the police officer for not being an official." Li Mu gave her a dissatisfied look and said, "Don't forget, this is my jurisdiction. All the big and small things that happen on Weiyang Street are under my control. The person above you is me...
…”
Liu Hanyan glanced at him and asked, "Does the catcher count as an official?"
"It doesn't count." Li Mu turned around and walked outside, saying: "Since being a police officer does not count as an official, if you are bullied in the future, don't come to me..."
Liu Hanyan hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Forget it, forget it, forget it, Mr. Li, the little girl is new here, and she will be taken care of by the adults from now on. Sit down, sir, and the little girl will help you make tea..."
Strictly speaking, arresters are not officials, but officials.
However, the officials of the Zhou Dynasty receive state salaries and are not just idle workers who run errands. Any case that occurs in this three-thirds of an acre of Weiyang Street, whether it is theft, robbery, bullying, molestation of women, deception, abduction, etc.
, Li Mudu has the right to manage it, and he only needs to submit an official document to County Magistrate Zhang afterwards.
If there is a serious case in the jurisdiction, Li Mu will also be held responsible.
Li Mu finished his tea and went out to continue patrolling. Liu Hanyan personally escorted him out.
Seeing the figure in public uniform disappearing into the crowd, Liu Hanyan looked away, still a little distracted.
She was sold into a music studio by her parents at the age of seven. She could only eat one meal a day and had to practice the piano the rest of the time. When her fingers were cut by the strings, she bandaged herself. When bullied by older musicians, she could only
Bear with it...
She practiced the piano desperately, learned all the instruments in the band, played for more than six hours a day, and refused countless men's help with ulterior motives. After saving enough money to redeem herself, she played even harder and earned the money to open a shop.
money.
All of this was her own effort. She cooked by herself when she was hungry, and mended her clothes when they were torn. She came here all the way from Zhongjun, alone, with a little maid. She bought four shops and recruited people everywhere.
, open the Yunyan Pavilion.
In the past ten years, she has never relied on anyone.
She also never knew what it felt like to have someone to rely on behind her.
